Reviews for "Arrogancy: Episode One"

Cryptic...

So you like the Japanese lore of animation and ideals? I don't blame you, around 95% of people indorse a anime acknowledgement and try to embody within. Talk to Mr. Tezuka and you'll see how it's done. Originality I mean, you'll find how to make a good piece of flash.
Not a bad movie so far, but the music, the storyboard and the overall plot is not suited and I'll tell you why:

This is a sound pitch varied for not mystery but for purpose. His purpose is typically to be a creation and an offspring of much cloned work.
However this purpose isn't a mystery and therefore won't construct a world around. In NGE you saw how nothing made sense until the end and you look back thinking it's not what you thought at first. You begin to imagine why you thought.

A good way is to use the music to trail off the people's thoughts, don't use use words but actions. They are much more louder and direct.

The bird killing is no something unseen and was kinda confusing to place. He's a machine but kills the simpliest of things. Machines don't have simple tasks, that's why humans live.

''What is the use of a bird who cannot fly'' he says. I say ''Who is the used one without wings to fly? Is it the bird of the past or the machine of the future? he's more dead than the creature''.

Ah reprogrammed. Good stuff, I was beginning to wonder if he'd be a mindless drone to human tampering. He's now a, what, fighter? This seems VERY familiar...here is something you gotta remember: The flashes are not meant to be a staring contest, so please try to get round a zooming in sequence, I get the face within half a sec.

HAHAHA Sephiroth was in this? Didn't know he'd show up but he does, sporting a very long quiff. He trying to beat Dan Hibiki?
And along comes a guy who could possibly be Capt. Crunch's arch enemy! The guy you're saying...looks like Neo. Now it's Panzer Dragoon's Pet and Street of Rage's Claw and a woman...WILL YOU STOP THE RIPOFFS!?!

WHY is he shaking that gun? HE'S A TRAINED KILLER REMEMBER?!? F*** the relationships, even if she's an angelic ripoff.

See I don't actually have a good sense of drawing or graphics, but I know how to make a good storyline and all I'd need is a good designer, because nobody would like me to go and produce ''Stick Man 2403.65: I'm boring''.

You are a good flash animator, something this site stands for, but in my reviews you're nothing but a piece of cake trying to put the icing on. Maybe you taste good, or maybe you're rotten. I don't eat cakes but I can sure eat one if it's presentable.
All I'm going to do is wait until the next one and see if my ramble has taught you the moral here: Try to imagine a creation within fixed emotions and reach a distination beyond speculation that's controlled to limitations only you can feel. Respect your inner thoughts throughout the outside world, not the other way round.

A good piece, but flawed by the same 95% of flashes: Originality. And the fact I've explained above.

wow...good movie

Great Graphics, Great Sound, Great Story...i was blown away

Cool

all i hafta say is that it rox and i cant wait for episode 5. if you made this in a full anime series, it'd be awsome. keep it up /\_/\

Not perfect, but what is?

Well, I know you don't like "kids" reviewing your works, but I'm hoping you'll put that aside long enough to at least read this.

Okay, I'm beating a dead cat with a stick here, but first, we gotta talk about your animation. Wow. Your artistic ability has few equals, as far as Newgrounds goes. Likewise, the animation works really well as well. In short, your characters seem to really fit into the surroundings you put them in. I was really impressed with what you did this time around.

Everyone complains about the sound, especially the voices, but compared to the first four Arrogancy chapters, I thought this was a marked improvement. It sounded a lot better, and contrary to what a lot of people think, I didn't think the narrator's voice was all that bad.

The real problem with the voice lied in the emotion...or, more precisely, the lack thereof. The narrator's voice reminded me of Ben Stein in terms of a monotone. I mean sure, I like Ben Stein, but there is hardly ever any emotion to anything he says. Later on, it acquired a little more of an aggressive edge, but it seemed forced, like "I guess I should be angry now...right?" Since you've made it quite clear that you're after plot, development, and atmosphere over flying limbs and boobs - and let me make it quite clear that you did a damn good job rendering the atmosphere and mood - it sort of cheapened the development. I mean, if you're going to add narration, it's gotta fit the atmosphere being conveyed, and, unfortunately, it really didn't...okay, so I guess jotandjab said the same damn thing, three days before I did. D'oh!

It's nice to see you've got some ambition, though...and hey, if you get TV time, anytime, anywhere, more power to you. But as long as you don't have the luxury of having professional actors, you gotta make sure that any and all voice, ESPECIALLY narration, compliments the atmosphere you convey, because otherwise, I think people are going to miss your vision...and that would be a shame.

Shut the fuck up and draw!!!

Your artistic ability is top notch and I can see your talent at animating is peerless but the voice acting was on par with Xenogears. Something about the voice was messed up. Otherwise the movie is kickin' rad
